Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

It may take me a handful of months to get the chapters published. Cause I'm perfectionist, I want the reading expirence be the best I a capable make it. Between Orginal and Fanwork

I Never use Ai in my writing.

Asking for ideas with minor few words to help spark ideas when stuck on a scene is a reference. Anything searching and / or made for helping writers to get an idea when having writers block is refernce to as a Helping Tool.

Helping tools are what AI in these cases Should be used for.

The Moment you Copy and Paste its AI written. You didn’t write that you took it, that is a fact!

Use AI Responsibly, It is A Helping Tool NOT A Short Cut Tool, Short Cuts ARE Theivery and Fraudulent

it may take me a month to put out a chapter but at least im not using ai to write it.

That is why his my Top Favorite in the show, I'm beyond Glad I was notified of this long post. My Man Is Getting Recognition.

Give the man a big cube of energon and a proper sleeping quarters and let him snooze. He deserves some peace and quiet for more than a day. A week without stressing his circuts.

I've been hiatuis for a long time.

I don't know how to apologize truly for how long I don't post or make updates in the last two years.

My computer died recently, i'm on to getting new one very shortly. I can't digitally draw at all until I het the new one.

I've been in the process of recovery mentally recently and working towards moving out and starting a new chapter in my life. It has not been easy at all, I think my body is starting to relax from intense stress I dealt with every day of my life. It has lessened greatly. It's a wonderful feeling to know i'm an adult, and I dont need to do extra for or care about people who would rather see me hurt and unhappy or make my big events about themselves. It has brought a wave exhaustion and restlessness that im not used to, but it's understandable and done some good in my life.

I'm truly sorry for not checking in as much. A lot has occurred and happened that I need to work through and towards before I could make a post.

Art currently has been more focused on my book and other personal projects, which has begun its posting on wattpad. As spoken, I will get covers once I get the new computer, but I will still post two chapters each and go back through with art. Post the art here when I do as usual.

To those awaiting FNF Soft Mod, Undergrove Squad fanfics. I will get them done when i'm able. I truly again am sorry and thankful for everyone patience, especially since it is taking months to get done.

Those came from YouTube. There is some big stuff coming and changing up to the theme of channel, something new to the content, too. HOF content is coming out with the chapters with so much more. Lot more is in the works, and im excited to get it all ready. The best thing is that I'm now able to be monetized, too! I'm making it my mission once im ready. To make a not too stressful schedule, I can keep postin gmore content with dealdines. Be upfront if things need to be delayed or im not able to finish certain projects.

Keep you all posted on what is to come. To make it important that I leave some teasers for upcoming projects too , you're all not just waiting with no updates again.

Until the time comes, and i'm able and ready for this new chapter.

This is Lynn signing out for now,

See you later 💚 🗝 🎨

I just want you all to know, that if and when this site does experience a real exodus and/or get sunsetted for good, even if we don't keep in touch I'll remember you so fondly. You're the online equivalent of the other kid on the beach where we built sandcastles together; the girl at the campsite where we explored the trees. You're the drunk person who shared kind words in the bathroom at the club, you're the talented artists at the life drawing class or the poetry night in a city where I don't live anymore. It makes me sad that maybe in the future our paths won't cross so easily, but even when we leave this little shared piece of cyberspace, carried away on our briefly intersecting trajectories, just know I still love you

[nixalynn]

no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.

fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.

I can proudly announce that Hearts of Forevermore, my original novel series, has it first few chapters published today on Wattpad.

I am currently making cover art for each chapter for each chapter. I will be posting two chapters each time, so there will be a lot to read.

https://www.wattpad.com/story/309417319?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=share_writing&wp_page=create&wp_uname=NixaLynn

The trailer for the book is currently in the works. Soon, I will be opening an auditioning for it. On the auditon server to anyone would like to join the team.

For certain chapters, I have videos for them as well. Keep a look out this summer for something new coming to the channel.

It feels unreal that my decade in the making project is finally posted for the world to read and experience.

This was meant to be just a doodle but it got out of hand?

First art of 2025!

Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.

It’s okay.  You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.

Writing Updates 2025 March Currently

Undergrove Sancturay Murder Drones fanfic is currently being reworked. Chapter 1 is completed, so go ahead and start reading. I'm reworking the whole thing cause desperately needs update and knowing whole story now from the show. Needs more lore accurate direction with it.

SoftMod Worlds Collided chapter 4 is slowly being worked on since I have time rn. It'll be posted soon as it's done since I have a script on how I want the story to go now.

HOF the original series, the first book of the series is very close to being completed. Im extremely excited to finally be ready to post on wattpad. For everyone to read before the end of the year. Im taking my time with it, so it's all ready. I'm going for two or one chapters after pilot with art cover for each kind of posting style, so it won't be all there at once. They'll be a build-up, so fun stuff planned soon ahead.

Irl has been rough latley with moving plans in preparation, looking for a job and such. Been diffcult time in my situation for a while. It's almost in full swing. Just haven't had time do much or have no motivation other than to write more than draw. Videos will be reserved for when i'm up for them casue I'm not gonna push myself.

It's probably one good thing about being sick is it gives you time to sit on your phone and write or draw by hand. It's good to finally get some things done off the list.

That's all for now, I hope you are all doing alright out there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and patience. It means a lot since I know im not as active in posting as most.

[nixalynn]

You were saying?

so this is how the current eclipse arc is going right

[nixalynn]

Some time ago I said to myself "wouldn't it be fun to go through and draw every character from Jak 1? give all these guys the love they deserve, doesn't that sound fun."

exhibit A in my court case

I think currently the warrior was my favorite to draw, I actually like shading metal despite sometimes not knowing wtf I'm doing

and man I know I've joked before about how dumb young female designs are in these games but bru I completely forgot about the geologist. Straight up S tier fit, thank god there's one.

one day the emptiness I feel inside will be satisfied

♡ Stretch - Valentine's One-Shot ♡

Written by @/buttergriffin332

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The moon was high in the sky, the stars twinkling and bright. The cold night air granted a nice breeze through the neighborhood, sending little chills into open windows and to those who happened to be up at this ungodly hour. A pleasant night to be curled up in bed, sleeping away to begin the next day. 

You were one of the many tucked away under the covers and pleasantly asleep. You’d have stayed asleep if not for the subtle chiming of your phone, the screen flashing on and shining right in your face. It seemed you had forgotten to put it on do not disturb mode. So you were roused from your slumber as you blindly reached for your phone. You moved to turn it off, but just barely caught who the notification was from. 

It was from Stretch.

‘Lemme in ;3’

You squinted in confusion at the text and watched as a second one arrived.

‘Hi :D’ 

“Wha…” You grumbled sleepily.

“Hi.” 

You yelped and jolted in your bed, sitting straight up as you gawked at the skeleton lazily peering through the window you left open last night. He just grinned as if he hadn’t just roused you from sleep and gave you the biggest scare of your life; at least, for the month. 

“Nice shirt.”

“Stretch? What are you doing here? It’s 3 in the morning.” You groaned, voice rough with sleep as you rubbed your eyes. You weren’t that tired anymore after the spook, but you certainly wished you could go back to sleep.

Stretch grunted and hopped through your window, plopping down on your bed with a sigh. “Couldn’t sleep.” He put his hands in his pockets and turned to you. “Wanna go out with me?”

You sighed and pulled a blanket over your shoulders. “Stretch, it’s the middle of the night. Nothing is going to be open.” 

He chuckled. “No, I mean literally. Do you wanna go out with me? Like for a walk.”

You tilted your head at him, confusion all over your face, and watched as Stretch’s goofy smile widened. “You, Stretch, are asking me to go for a walk?” You asked slowly.

“That’s how you know this relationship is serious. Only the very special people in my life know I walk outside in the dead of night with a flashlight when everyone else in the neighborhood is asleep.” His smile was unbelievably large at this point, and maybe it was that you’d only just woken up, but you really couldn’t tell if he was playing around or being serious. 

“I’m going back to sleep.” You huffed and laid back down. 

Stretch laughed and got up and gently pulled the blanket back. “Okay no, wait. Come on, hear me out.” He snickered and waited for you to turn back to him. “I know it’s late, but it’s a great time of night for lizard and frog hunting.” He knelt down beside the bed. 

“Why would I wanna go lizard and frog hunting at three in the morning?” You rolled over and frowned sleepily at him. 

“Because it’d be with me? And you love me?” He put on that stupid cheese smile that never fails to make you smile back, but you tried to hide it behind your blanket. “Besides, not like you’re doing anything important-”

“I was sleeping! One of your favorite things to do!” You argued. 

He continued to talk. “So why not spend this time doing something fun?!” He stood up to his full height and put his hands on his hips. “Come on, you’ll like it!”

“I like sleep, too…” You slowly sat back up and tried to bite back a yawn. 

Stretch settled down into a more calm pose, matching your energy a bit more. When he gets all excited his similarities with Papyrus really show. “We won’t be out too long, promise.” 

You sighed, caving at his eager face. “If I do this, you’re treating me to lunch and dinner today.” 

He snorted, and you almost moved to argue with him, but he waved it off. “I hear ya, it’s a deal. Lunch and dinner, on the to-do list.” He nodded and reached his hand out when you started to get up. “You’re gonna wanna change clothes.” 

“I gathered that, silly.” 

After you threw on a pair of sweatpants and a nice soft jacket, you and Stretch lazily strolled out of your house. Sure enough, it’s still the dead of night and very dark. The lamp posts were the only light source that allowed the two of you to see the sidewalk. Stretch seemed to have a specific target to walk towards, so you followed.

You soon found yourself in a more odd location than expected. The edge of a small thicket of trees that bordered the large neighborhood. You couldn’t help but laugh in denial.

“You know, if I didn’t care about you so much, I’d find it really strange that you woke me up in the middle of the night to lead me into a dark forest.” You hummed and gave a little shiver from the breeze.

Stretch snickered and pulled an item from the pocket of his hoodie and affixed it to his skull. You squinted from the bright light suddenly shining on your face and groaned. 

“Luckily, I have a means to make it not dark.” He replied and offered a second head light to you. You decided to ask why he had multiple of these later.

“You’re lucky I like you.” 

“Oh so very lucky. Let’s go!” 

Stretch was very careful with you as you both walked through the cluster of trees and bushes and whatnot. He kept a hand around yours, and the light pointed down to make sure you were never far behind and never slipped. All the while, the orange dots of his eyes flicked back and forth with each sound in the night. You could hear the hoot of an owl, the chirp of crickets, and even the occasional frog croak.

You stayed put when Stretch let your hand go and started snooping through some bushes. He rolled up the sleeves of his hoodie and dove his hands into a small, muddy puddle, and let out a shout of victory. 

You cocked your head and watched as he approached you, his hands firmly gripping a large frog covered in dirt.

“I got you a friend.”

“Oh my g-, put it down Stretch!”

He fake gasped. “You don’t like my gift?” 

“I love your gift, just not the possibility of it attacking me.” You stepped back and smacked his arm when he moved the frog closer. It was surprisingly relaxed in his hands, all things considered.

Stretch smiled. “He’s fine. He won’t hurt ya!” He cocked his head and hummed. “Can’t tell what kind it is… it’s a wood frog.”

You hummed and nestled your hands in your warm pockets. “Well, we are around trees.” You teased gently. 

He rolled his eyes and crouched back down to the spot where he’d grabbed the little guy and let him go. “Let’s hop to it!” 

Oddly enough, rooting through leaves and bushes was quite fun! Even if it was a little cold. Your fingers gently tingled in the cold night air which left you to watch Stretch more than participate, but it was enjoyable nonetheless! Anything he caught he’d give you a quick show and share a fact or two about the critter before letting it go. It was remarkable that his clothes stayed clean the whole time. 

“This a habit of yours I didn’t know about?” You asked as you were crouched with him as he set free a much smaller frog. It was various shades of brown and you were surprised Stretch saw it even with the light. 

He shrugged. “Eh… consider it a temporary hobby? A lot of these little guys weren’t in the underground, so I’m kinda infatuated by them.”

“Ooh, big word.” 

“Hush.” He pushed you with his elbow with a chuckle. 

You laughed with him and stood back up, walking with him once again. “It’s actually really cute. Even if it’s a little silly to think of you stalking through the night just to look at reptiles and stuff.” 

He hummed and wrapped an arm over your shoulders to gently pull you closer as you both strolled your way out towards the street. “I’m glad my silliness is endearing.” 

“It’s one of your best qualities.” You replied, grinning when you caught the subtle orange that spread on his face. Though he probably thought you couldn’t see it in the darkness.

He rubbed the back of his neck with one of his hands, trying to brush off the embarrassment. “W-well uh… in that case I-OH!”

In a blink, and with speed you’d rarely seen from the skeleton, he was over by a bush and quickly swiped something from the leaves. You tried to ask what was so exciting that got that reaction from him, but he spun and offered you to look instead. 

“Ooh, a lizard.” You smiled and reached out to try to give the rather large critter a pet, but Stretch pulled his hands away. 

“A gecko! A tokay gecko specifically.” He lifted his hands up to his face to look at the little guy closer. “You’re not supposed to be out here. No, you are not.” He hummed and tried to look it over without loosening his grip. 

“He’s not?” You inquired and shuffled closer to him. The little guy looked pretty. The red spots really made him pop.

He shook his head. “Nope. These little guys are actually from uh… Asia I believe? So far away from here. Obviously invasive.” He hummed and cocked his head to the side. “And usually supposed to be pretty aggressive….” His voice drifted off. 

“Looks pretty docile to me.” You observed and leaned against the skeleton, partly to look at the large reptile and partly to soak up his warmth as the cold started to bite a bit more. 

“Yeah, that’s the problem. That means he was captive bred. He shouldn’t be out here.” He frowned and held the critter closer to his chest. 

You grinned. “Did you just make a new friend?” You teased, nudging him as he laughed. 

“Nyeh heh, I wish. Regardless of if he was in captivity before, he’s pretty grown up and won’t hesitate to bite to protect whatever they call their territory. Wouldn’t want any of my little ones getting hurt.” He waved his head in motion for you to follow, going back to the original task of going home. 

“What are you gonna do with him then?” You wrapped an arm around one of his own, looking at the reptile that seemed rather content in Stretch’s grasp. 

“I’m gonna make a temporary tank for the night, then turn him over to a shelter in the morning. He’s a beautiful little one, I’m sure he won’t be stuck there long.” 

You smiled. Watching Stretch dote on something the size of his hand was always so sweet to see. You knew a select few details of his past and that kindness is ingrained in his very being, despite some of the demons he obviously has, no matter how much he refused to tell you. Watching him be his authentic self in these moments reminded you of just why you fell for him.

You warmed up in the skeleton house and helped Stretch set up the temporary tank for the gecko. The little guy immediately hid under a hide away log the moment Stretch let him inside. After he was settled, you yawned and sat with the skeleton on the couch. Drowsiness had begun to weigh on you a while ago, but finally sitting down showed you just how tuckered out you were. It was only 5 in the morning, and you were thankful you didn’t have work tomorrow and had every intention of sleeping in. 

You felt the skeleton nuzzle his face against the top of your head and hum. “Happy Valentine's Day, sweet bee.”

You turned to look at him. “Valentines day?” 

“Yeah, it’s technically the 14th, even if the sun isn’t up yet. Had the whole day planned for ya…. If you’re up for that I mean.” he hummed, a shy smile tugged on his face. 

You hummed sweetly and leaned your head back to his shoulder. “That sounds lovely, but I don’t know if I’ll be waking up any time soon for your plans.” You sighed. 

Stretch rubbed your back and pulled you a touch closer. “Well, good thing I had that planned out too. Had a whole lunch and dinner date planned.” 

“Aww.” You smiled and closed your eyes. Lunch and dinner, he’s so sweet. 

…

Wait. 

“Is that why you laughed!?”

Stretch’s cackling filled the living room and you’re once again reminded of another reason why you fell for him. He really does think of everything. 

You groaned and roughly shoved yourself against him, intending to take all the warmth and comfort he could possibly have. “Happy Valentine's Day to you too, you dork.”
